Daily Observations!

EDNEsDAY-Warmer weather. =.
J.B. Howe has been over in Pike County
selling agricultural machinery. -. Mr.
and Mrs. David T. Davis, of Oak Hill
called at this Office. Little "Totsy'
Edwards is thought to have taken the
measles from letter received by her pa.
rents from a friend more than hundred
miles away, who has measles in his fami-
ly...W. C. Evans came up from Ports
mouth this morning. Great fire raging
there when he left G. w. CLAIR, of
Gambia, called. -. Rufus J. Brunton, of
Four Mile paid US visit. -. Eddie. son
of Galen Elliott, of jamestown, has been
dangerously sick for some time. 49,. Am
brose Leach has been on the sick list for
day or two. Capt. Cooper of the
Salvation Army called. The Capt. is
good company, and certainly one of the
most pushing commanders in the Army.
The police now have the new
wreaths on their helmets, with numbers.
A fine looking set of fellows they are, too.
-. Churches well attended, large
crowd being at M. E. Church. These
meetings have one good effect, and a val
liable one, if nothing further be accomp-
lished, is that the Churches are aroused,
and enthused for the work before them.
-. The D. S. boys give a regular concert
of steam-whistles almost every evening.
-. .Dal Bennett has gone to Springfield,
to accept a position as painter. -. Mrs.
A. H. Matthews brought her sister Lima
here, where she is doctoring. She is in
poor health.
THURsDAY.-A drizzling rain pant of
of the day. Deputy Sheriff Long
went to Cincinnati to-day. ...Prosecut-
ing Attorney Leach has been terribly
afflicted, with something like erysipelas.
He has been confined to his home for sew
eral days but is recovering. -. What
terrible racket on the streets tonight!
Early in the evening the Little Ten Band
collided with the Salvation Army on
Main Street, and the noise was simply
terrific. After while the Silver Cornet
Band came out in front of Longbon's,
an played some fine selections. There
was successful meeting at the M. E.
Church tonight, and some seekers at the
stopping with her sister Mrs. A. II.
Matthews, is helpless from paralysis, and
suffering greatly. Street Commits
sioner Martin does his best to keep the
streets in order, but there are some
plces hard to meke or keep decent in the
present state of affairs. There are two
crossings absolutely necessary, in this
town, and the people should see to it that
they are put down as soon as possible.
These places are the crossing, of Broad
Street, at the residence of Mrs. Booth,
and the crossing of the School House AL
ley near the residence of Thomas Jones
(North.) Great numbers of School Chill
dren pass this way daily, as well as busi-
ness men and other citizens who have to
pass back and forth. We call attention
to these things with the hope, and belief,
that the authorities will attend to it at
once, or as soon as possible. -. The
troubles of John Hartley do not seem to
be over yet, though his wife is trying to
induce him to sell out his Chillicothe dog
gerry and come back, and try to be man.
This yonng mans experience in this
place, is one of the strongest arguments
against the doggery business yet produc-
ed. The den he kept here was one of the
very lowest of the low, and we are relia-
bly, informed that the woman who is
invoking the aid of the officers of the law
to reform her John, encouraged his in
fernal business in destroying other mems
families, and even sold whisky over the
counter, herself It seems that even the
the Devil is sometimes seized with fit
of Justice, and scourges the right parties.
The officers will not perhaps put them
selves out greatly to relieve this pair
from their-troubles. These people can
realize, now, what they have been doing
for others. Uncle Joe Watson serves
notice that if we "option" the doggeries
out of Jackson, they shall not stop in
Jamestown. That's right-what we
want to do is to keep them going. The
back of doggery-keeper is prettier than
his face. any time.
FRIDAY.-Lemuel Thomas, of Centre
vile, is in town to-day. Mr.. Thomas
worked at his trade of saddler, in this
place some ten years ago. He notes
many changes in Jackson since then, one
of which is that both his old employers,
Ca att & Branson, are dead. -. Charley
Blagg has moved into the Basquill house,
corner of Pearl and Portsmouth :. 1t is
said that Harper, the blind manufacturer
of brooms, of Washington c. H., who
travels through this section, takes orders
at all the towns, keeping them in his
memory, and that he fills them without a

the meeting tonight, decided to postpone
the great concert. ....J. Edward Jones
of Oak Hill. is in town.. Our ole
friend John D. Davis, and his son Will
lam, are in to-day, in a wagon. Tht
roads are reported tolerably solid-but
look out, when the thaw comes. -. .Sait
an old farmer TO US to-day: Your towr

suggested itself that they found righ
